Reducing tag size while maintaining good performance is one of the major challenges in radio-frequency identification applications (RFID), in particular when labeling metallic objects. In this contribution, a small size and low cost tag antenna for identifying metal objects in the European UHF band (865–868 MHz) is presented. The antenna consists of a transmission line mounted on an inexpensive thin dielectric which is proximity-coupled to a short-ended patch mounted on FR4 substrate. The overall dimensions of the tag are 33.5 × 30 × 3.1 mm. Experimental results show that, for an EIRP of 3.2 W (European regulations), such a small and cheap tag attains read ranges of about 5 m when attached to a metallic object.

In this paper, an inkjet-printed flexible Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag antenna is proposed for an ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensor application. The proposed tag antenna facilitates a system-level solution for low-cost and faster mass production of RFID passive tag antenna. The tag antenna consists of a modified meander line radiator with a semi-circular shaped feed network. The structure is printed on photo paper using silver nanoparticle conductive ink. The generic design outline, as well as tag antenna performances for several practical application aspects are investigated. The simulated and measured results verify the coverage of universal UHF RFID band with an omnidirectional radiation pattern and a long-read range of 15 ft. In addition, the read range for different bending angles and lifetimes of the tag antenna are also demonstrated.

UHF radio frequency identification system with write speeds, large storage capacity , recognition distance and simultaneously read multiple tags , etc. , has been more widely used in logistics. Introduced in line with ISO 18000-6 standard UHF RFID tag main characteristics, structure, working principle and write methods, proposed the corresponding reader solutions, focusing on the reader hardware design and software program flow. The application results show that the reader read and write speed (single tag 64bit / 6ms), recognition rate, recognition distance (≥ 4m).

<p>Billions of passive Radiofrequency tags are produced by the Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) industry every year to identify goods remotely. Enhanced RFID adds the capacity for localisation and sensing that can be used in earth science for long-term and spatially dense monitoring with low-cost tags. Localisation has been used already to monitor displacements of coarse sediment and landslides over several metres. Sensing capabilities have been developed in laboratories, but never implemented on real fields. This work presents the first RFID sensing application in earth science, using the simplest 1-bit sensor to detect millimetric motion of unstable rocks. The application required designing custom RFID tags adapted for outdoor usage at long range, adapting the data acquisition of an existing tag microcircuit, and designing a sensor that triggers when displacement exceeds a few millimetres, which threshold displacement can be adapted for each sensor. In complement, the system embeds displacement sensing to measure larger displacements> 5 mm, using the phase-based measurement already deployed on landslides. The presentation display results from laboratory tests and from an implementation in a real site in Eastern France. The advantages and drawbacks of the method are discussed, as well as the future potential RFID sensors that could monitor unstable terrains.</p><p>Author’s published work on the topic:</p><p>Le Breton, M., Baillet, L., Larose, E., Rey, E., Benech, P., Jongmans, D., Guyoton, F., 2017.

The electromagnetic (EM) imaging technique at mm-band 60 GHz is proposed for data encoding purpose in the chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. The fully printable chipless RFID tag comprises tiny conductive EM polarizers to create high cross-polar radar cross-section. Synthetic aperture radar approach is applied for formation of the tag's EM-image and revealing the tag's content. The achieved high data encoding capacity of 2 bits/cm2in this technique based on a fully printable tag is very convincing for many applications. The system immunity to multipath interference, bending effect, and printing inaccuracy suggests huge potentials for low-cost item tagging. Tags are also readable through a tick paper envelop; hence secure identification is provided by the proposed technique.

Sistem pengaman sepeda motor menggunakan radio frequency identification (RFID) dan notifikasi melalui handphone yang dikontrol dengan modul Arduino Uno telah dirancang bangun. RFID terdiri dari sebuah RFID tag dan RFID reader. RFID tag yang memiliki kode yang berbeda-beda, digunakan sebagai kunci untuk menghidupkan sepeda motor setelah kunci kontak digunakan. RFID reader dapat membaca tag pada jarak maksimal 1,26 cm. Sepeda motor yang dihidupkan tanpa menggunakan RFID tag atau RFID tag tidak sesuai menyebabkan aktifnya reed switch pada pelek roda depan. Ketika roda telah berputar sebanyak empat kali, maka alarm aktif dan GSM SIM 800L mengirimkan notifikasi berupa SMS sebanyak satu kali dan misscall sebanyak tiga kali ke nomor handphone pemilik sepeda motor. Waktu delay rata-rata SMS dan miscall berturut-turut adalah 5,42 s, 8,62 s, 61,14 s dan 113,16 s. Kata kunci: sistem pengaman sepeda motor, RFID, Arduino Uno , reed switch, GSM SIM 800L

This paper presents a passive cavity type Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag antenna having the longest read-range, and compares it with existing long-range UHF RFID tag antenna. The study also demonstrates mathematically and experimentally that our proposed longest-range UHF RFID cavity type tag antenna has a longer read-range than existing passive tag antennas. Our tag antenna was designed with 140 × 60 × 10 mm3 size, and reached 26 m measured read-range and 36.3 m mathematically calculated read-range. This UHF tag antenna can be applied to metal and non-metal objects. By adding a further sensing capability, it can have a great benefit for the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks (WSN).
